Gutter Guards for Copper Gutters (Part 1)

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

Is your house equipped with rain gutters made of copper? If so, congratulations-in many ways, copper may be the ultimate material for rain gutters. It is stronger than aluminum, has a beautiful finish when new, withstands the effects of weather well, does not deteriorate under the attack of UV rays from the sun, and gradually develops a beautiful green or gray patina over a period of years. In addition, copper rain gutters can last for 75 to 100 years or more.

Even though you might have beautiful copper rain troughs adorning your house, by itself copper does nothing to avert the major bane of all rain gutter owners: cleaning out the gutters. The wind and rain carry all kinds of stuff into rain gutters. Every spring there are tree blossoms, to be followed in the fall by leaves, nuts, and seeds, sometimes accompanied by twigs, dirt, and bird nests. This collection of things may attract various kinds of insects. The debris may then block the gutters and downspouts, resulting in water overflowing the gutters, dripping down the walls, and eroding your yard. If you are really unlucky, the water may find its way into your basement.

The best product to use for your copper gutters is Contractors Filter Gutter Guards

How Our Contractors Filter Gutter Guards Work

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

The size of the pores on the Contractors Filter Gutter Guards are small enough to let only the smallest pieces of grit and dirt pass through and get washed out of the gutters. The larger items stay on top and the wind blows them out of the gutter. Because the Contractors Filter Gutter Guard fits so snugly into the gutter there is no chance of it blowing out or getting washed out by rain water. Unlike many other systems on the market we seal off the entire gutter so nothing but the smallest dirt particles gets through, other Gutter Cover systems allow debris to entire the gutter this is why you see bigger downspouts and debris traps on the downspouts of some other systems.

This is also perfect for cold weather areas because when the temperatures dip below freezing there is no water in your gutters to freeze and create a strain on the gutters. Have you ever noticed some Gutter Cover systems have large icicle formations hanging off of them, that is because once the front gap is frozen over there is nowhere the water can go but over the side forming large icicles. Some systems now offer an upsell and run a electric heat cable through the nose of the gutter system keeping it heated in the winter so ice will not form, how energy efficient is this? The Contractors Filter’s Foam Gutter Guard system has been developed and taken this into consideration and when it freezes there is next to nothing in the gutter’s filter to freeze. It has already been taken from the gutters and out into the downspout.

Contractors Filter Gutter Guards are the best Gutter Protection system for the contractors or homeowners to use and the easiliest to install Gutter Guard system on the market.
